The real season begins here!
We made it through the 1st 3 matches of the season with a less than ideal preseason training, but have fought our way to 2nd in the table early on with 7 points. It has come with some costs as we have a list of injuries to players who played through the extended season during the summer. Two key starting players will miss extended playing time: Levi Colwill & Liam Delap, meanwhile Cole Palmer has missed two of the first three matches to start the season already, while awaiting word if he will be available to play for this upcoming match away vs Brentford.
Fortunately, the squad is deep and there is cover for all positions this season, but we can’t afford to lose any more players to injury without suffering the consequences. Players have stepped up and produced: Joao Pedro is still scoring goals and producing results in only his 5th competitive match with the club. Estevao has impressed filling the void with Palmer’s injury. And there are more reinforcements with the likes of Alejandro Garnacho & Facundo Buonanotte joining in on transfer day deals. It should be a fascinating West London derby at the Gtech Community Stadium. Let’s keep building that momentum to play through the adversity!
Come down to the Londoner Addison this Saturday afternoon & kick it with the Shed End Dallas crew. We look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers,
Shed End Dallas
